    Evening (or afternoon) all - just a quick summary of what I think we've learnt about the fighters from this weekend's fights. My first post (I think!) so be nice!

    Haye
    We all knew he could punch and that he was quicker and more skillful than Chisora, and so it proved (Great super-slow-mo KO!). Probably got too much for any Heavyweight up there except the Klits. Can't see him beating either of them due to their size/style - all he tried against Wlad was an 'explosive' style, trying swinging shots which are rendered inaffectual due to their reach/height advantage - and I can't really see the result ever being any different!

    What next? Either retirement or a fight with Vitali - can't see any other options.

    Chisora
    Pretty limited at World level - done well to get up after the first KD. Will probably win a British title again and possibly even European - but would do well to take a break atm and ease himself back in.

    What next? After a bit of time out a fight against a few nobody's (McDermott-level). Can see a fight with David Price within the next 18 months?!

    Khan
    Was a bit gutted (but not surprised) when he got Ko'd. Classic case of all the tools (excpect the chin maybe) but the wrong metality and training! Tries to be a 'warrior' when he just needs to sit back and box. Maybe in need of a change of trainer as he clearly can't fight on the inside, or doesn't know how to clinch - and there's only so much running you can do! Someone like sweetpea maybe?!

    What next? At 25 he's still young enough to regroup, and should in theory be entering his prime. Has to forget about a rematch or Mayweather fight (!!!) and concentrate on ad******g his style. If he can find the right trainer and change his mindset i can see him winning a title again.

    Garcia
    Not really much learned from the fight. Looks like he can bang a bit (but then Khan was knocked down by Willie Limond) and he got his tactics spot on - . Will probably beat a few more contanders before losing to a more 'elite' fighter. Should make some good money while he can.

    What next?
    A fight against a ranked opponent, then onto someone like Bailey, Alexander, Ortiz, Maidana, Berto, Petersen.

    Joe
